February 11, 2025"Gormenghast" by Mervyn Peake - Book 97.
To follow and support us, click here: http://anovelreviewpodcast.com
In Gormenghast, Mervyn Peake doubles down on his surreal vision, crafting a gothic maze where time moves in sluggish circles and tradition is a trap. The castle is both character and prison, and its inhabitants, bizarrely fixated on status, seem destined to stumble through their own eccentricities. Steeped in dark humor and absurdity, the novel is a thrilling, labyrinthine journey, as much about unraveling the world’s complexity as it is about losing oneself in it.
Painting: I painted the view from Flay’s cave
Some of the books and authors discussed in this episode include:
“Gormenghast” by Mervyn Peake
“The Dark King Swallows the World” Robert G. Penner
